Why Rising Strong?​Do you ever not do things because you worry about failing?

Have you ever failed at something or had something bad happen in your life and you have felt guilt, grief, embarrassment, or shame?

Has it made you not want to share or risk again?

​Or do you often find yourself either shutting down or lashing out and not knowing why or how to stop it, or dealing with people in your life who do those things?

Have you experienced a loss or something hard that has affected your sense of self and the world?

Do you often tell yourself stories that prevent you from being fully present in relationships or your life?

The Rising Strong™ curriculum is about what it takes to get back up and how owning our stories of struggle gives us the power to write a daring new ending.

Brené Brown says it best...

"While vulnerability is the birthplace of many of the fulfilling experiences we long for — love, belonging, joy, creativity, and trust, to name a few — the process of regaining our emotional footing in the midst of struggle is where our courage is tested and our values are forged. Rising strong after a fall is how we cultivate wholeheartedness in our lives; it’s the process that teaches us the most about who we are."

"The most transformative and resilient leaders that I’ve worked with over the course of my career have three things in common: First, they recognize the central role that relationships and story play in culture and strategy, and they stay curious about their own emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Second, they understand and stay curious about how emotions, thoughts, and behaviors are connected in the people they lead, and how those factors affect relationships and perception. And, third, they have the ability and willingness to lean in to discomfort and vulnerability."
